According to Indian media reports on October 26, an strange electric shock accident occurred in Vidisha district, Central Pradesh, India.
A man died on the spot after being severely electrocuted when he spat out a gutkha, a common chewing food in the area, from the balcony on the third floor. It is suspected that he came into contact with a 11,000-volt high-voltage wire nearby.
After the accident, his body was hung along the edge of the building for a while. The police have already registered the case and are investigating the specific cause of the accident.
Local residents claim that the man was electrocuted after the fluid he spat out came into contact with a high-voltage line. There is currently no official technical confirmation to determine whether the current was conducted through saliva, or if an arc was created due to the person being too close to the high-voltage line.
Local residents have repeatedly reported issues with high-voltage lines being too close to their homes.
